Best Park Trees

The Rare Fruit and Vegetable Council and park staff maintain an amazing section of rare and exotic fruit trees in this 90-acre park, which used to be a University
of Florida experimental farm. They include litchis, jambolan, jackfruit, banana, Indian gooseberry, tamarind and mangoes. Just be sure not to pilfer any of the dark-pink akee fruit, which can kill you if theyre not opened naturally by the sun. (It could be argued that the signs near the akee trees that read, This fruit can be hazardous to your health are a bit understated.) The park also has attractive lakes with boat rentals and fishing, and offers picnic areas, playgrounds, a bike/jogging path and more.
